A country with a long-standing viticultural tradition, this Balkan State has successfully managed the privatisation of the sector, which has enabled new operators to offer quality wines that express its specific characteristics.
Jean-Marie Aurand was delighted to host this first wine presentation and expressed the desire to strengthen cooperation with the country through greater involvement of their experts and professionals.
The 2015 edition awarded Trophies to the 14 best films selected from among 130 competing films from 16 countries. The 2015 awards confirm the international character of the Festival and go to productions from Australia, America, Belgium, Spain, France, Georgia, Mexico and Switzerland.

Following an introduction to the OIV and its activities by the various heads of unit, they were received by Director General Jean-Marie Aurand who stressed the original character of this training and the openings to which it gives rise, thanks to the network of universities and companies associated with it.
This diploma is unique in that its field of study is at one and the same time single-sector, multidisciplinary, itinerant, international and experimental, while drawing on one of today’s most highly developed networks in the wine world. Since 1987, more than 500 “movers and shakers” in the wine world have received this training.
Before the members of this class left OIV headquarters, Jean-Marie Aurand insisted on the international dimension of a course which every year enables students to discover more than 20 key countries in Planet Wine, situated on 5 continents.
